Cowpens, South Carolina, United States
I have been involved in reliability my whole life. Even before the Navy training I was a car, motorcycle mechanic and worked during high school building and calibrating pressure gages. It was a natural move to reliability engineering once I had my degree. Since obtaining my degree I have obtained very detailed training in pumps (both reliability and process troubleshooting), I have taken my NDT background to a new level of QA/QC by obtaining my National Board Inspector Certification, API 510 Pressure Vessel Certification, API 570 Piping Certification, and the API 653 Storage Tank Certification. I also have become a CMRP (certified maintenance and reliability professional), and a MLT1 (machinery lubrication technician level one). Specialties: Failure Analysis, Mechanical Equipment Reliability, ASME and API Code proficiency, Nuclear Power background, Boiler, Pressure Vessel, Piping and Storage Tank Inspector, CMRP, MLT1
